Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional portable lamps have a fixed structure, which limits their ornamental appeal, usability, and space efficiency, as they occupy significant space when not in use and lack versatility in shape.

Innovation Solution

A portable lamp design featuring an adjustable lamp body with folding parts, a lamp control assembly, and a positioning mechanism that allows for various shapes and compact folding, utilizing a rechargeable battery, control board, and magnetic or plastic materials for stability and portability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed structure is used for the portable lamp, then the manufacturing is simple, but the lamp occupies large space and lacks versatility when not in use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshape versatilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp body is divided into multiple folding parts that can be segmented and reconfigured. The folding parts include outer folding parts and inner folding parts that can be arranged in different configurations to create various shapes, transforming a single fixed structure into multiple adaptable forms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lamp transitions from a static fixed structure to a dynamic reconfigurable structure. The folding parts can be adjusted and repositioned to change the lamp's shape and size, allowing it to adapt between different usage states and storage configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Volume of moving object

If a fixed structure is used for the portable lamp, then the structure is simple, but the lamp occupies big space when not in use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace occupationVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The folding parts are designed to nest within each other when collapsed. The inner folding parts are positioned between the outer folding parts, allowing the entire lamp body to be compressed into a compact form that occupies minimal space during storage or portability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The lamp structure dynamically changes between an expanded operational state and a collapsed storage state. The folding mechanism allows the lamp to transition from a larger functional form to a compact portable form, reducing space occupation when not in use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed structure is used for the portable lamp, then the manufacturing is simple, but the lamp has single shape and is less ornamental

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshape varietyVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp is constructed from modular folding parts that can be independently manufactured and then assembled in various configurations. This segmentation allows for standardized production of components while enabling diverse final shapes through different assembly arrangements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The same set of folding parts serves multiple functions: they form the structural framework, enable shape transformation, and create different ornamental configurations. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple specialized components, simplifying manufacturing while increasing shape variety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A lamp is portable and provided. The lamp includes an adjustable lamp body; a lamp control assembly; and a lamp positioning mechanism. The adjustable lamp body is arranged on the lamp control assembly, and the lamp control assembly is arranged inside the lamp positioning mechanism. The adjustable lamp body includes at least one folding part, and the folding part includes two symmetrically arranged outer folding parts and two symmetrically arranged inner folding parts. The inner folding parts are respectively arranged between two ends of each outer folding part. The lamp control assembly includes a control box and a positioning plate respectively arranged at both ends of the adjustable lamp body. There are further provided a lamp belt and a handle body. The control box can adjust and position an angle through the handle body.
